What portion of the Penguins' player generated revenue do you think Crosby and Malkin are responsible for? This season they would each have be making about 14% of the team's payroll. I agree with Dado, I believe the top players in the league are underpaid.

Then you need to petition the NHLPA to argue to decrease the minimum salary floor. Not sure they will agree with this, but hey, Crosby needs more bank!
